Three statements in, the hearing has gone as expected. Committee Chairman, Senator Leahy (D-VT) gave his ten-minute opening statement, followed by ranking member Senator Sessions (R-AL) who went just over the 10 minutes allowed to each member of the committee. As expected, Senator Sessions brought up the Ricci case, promoted guns, raised questions about abortion, fulminated against imparting international law, and attacked Sotomayor’s involvement with PRLDEF. Yet, the positive messages of Senator Leahy and Sentor Kohl (D-WI) who have called Sotomayor an inspiration to the American people are ringing loud and clear.
UPDATE: Just after we posted this, there was an outburst by an audience member during Sentaor Feinstein's (D-CA) statement. Maybe things will heat up...

Someone yelled "Abortion is murder" I wouldn't call that a surprise either...
